innodb_log_file_size variable makes the server crash

Hello,

I have a problem when setting the innodb_log_file_size variable in
my.cnf (MySQL 5.0 with Ubuntu 7.04, 2GB RAM).

When I start MySQL I have a 'failed' error status.

Here is the InnoDB variables I fixed in the conf file :

innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:1000M:autoextend
innodb_buffer_pool_size = 1024M
innodb_additional_mem_pool_size = 20M
innodb_log_file_size = 256M
innodb_log_buffer_size = 8M

I commented line by line the InnoDB variables, only
innodb_log_file_size makes the server crash at startup.

Could you see what the problem could be ?

Thanks,

C. Tobini
